ICANN to Internet: Please Stop Posting the Same Piglet Photo

If you’ve used the Internet at any point in the last three years, you’ve likely come across the ridiculously cute photo above.

But after a sweeping survey of worldwide server bandwidth, ICANN has determined that the unnecessary duplication of the image may be causing congestion on the Internet.

“Please stop posting, tweeting, Tumbling and pinning the same pic over and over,” reads a memo from ICANN released today. “We get it – the pig is cute. Let’s move on, people.”

DC Cops Bust Up Wild Valentine’s Day Party at Smithsonian Zoo

Residents of the Small Mammal House at the Smithsonian National Zoo are known party animals. But this morning’s Valentine’s Day Bash got so out of hand that Washington, DC police were called in to shut down the operation.

At least seven mammals have been charged with lewd behavior and disturbing the peace.

Zebra Cop Disciplined For Getting Rowdy at Traffic Stop

A member of the zebra police force at the Great Arkansas Safari Adventure Park in Fayetteville, AR was put on paid disciplinary leave after becoming belligerent during a routine traffic stop.  The animal reportedly became incensed when a patron at the park asked after being pulled over if he could “take a picture with the stripey horse.”  

The zebra is expected to issue an apology next week.

Polar Bear Plunge Added to the Olympics as Demonstration Sport

Polar bear sporting enthusiasts will be excited to learn that the “polar bear plunge,” a triathlon style event that combines a 2,500 meter swim with a 5,000 kilometer snow run and a fishing skills competition, will be added to the 2012 Olympics in London.  The sport will be designated a “demonstration” event, meaning that no medal will be awarded.  Because London is not warm enough for the snow run, that portion of the event will take place in the northern Norway town of Tromsø.
